City shares safety tips, promotes weekend market and recycling
The Oakdale City Council held its Monday morning briefing on January 20th, a day when city offices were closed for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The council highlighted upcoming community events and services, including a weekend indoor market, a holiday tree recycling program, and fire safety guidance.
City offices and facilities throughout Oakdale remained closed Monday, January 20th, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Regular business hours resume Tuesday.
Looking ahead, the city is promoting the Oakdale Indoor Market, scheduled for Saturday, January 25th, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Discovery Center. The event will feature more than 20 local vendors and is open to all residents.
The Public Works Department is also reminding residents that holiday tree recycling remains available through the end of January for $3 per tree. The department asks that residents remove all decorations and bags from trees before drop-off.
The Oakdale Fire Department used the meeting to share fire extinguisher safety tips with the public. Officials emphasized that residents should call 911 immediately when dealing with large fires. For small, manageable fires, the department recommends using the P.A.S.S. technique—an acronym for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep—while prioritizing personal safety at all times.

[0:04] [Music] Welcome back to the Monday Morning
Minute for January 20th! Let's get 60 seconds
[0:08] on the clock and get started. City offices and
facilities are closed today, Monday, in observance
[0:12] of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Staff will be
back tomorrow to resume regular hours. Stop by the
[0:17] Oakdale Indoor Market at the Discovery Center this
Saturday, January 25th, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM to
[0:21] shop more than 20 local vendors offering a unique
variety of items. Do you still have your holiday
[0:26] tree up? Oakdale Public Works is offering holiday
tree recycling to residents through the end of the
[0:30] month. The cost is $3 per tree. No decorations
or bags are allowed. You can drop it off at
[0:34] Public Works Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM
to 3:30 PM. Please stop inside before disposing
[0:39] of trees. Finally, some fire extinguisher safety
tips from the Oakdale Fire Department. First,
[0:44] assess the fire and call 911 if it's too large
or unmanageable. When using a fire extinguisher,
[0:49] use the P.A.S.S. technique: Pull, Aim,
Squeeze and Sweep. Aim the nozzle or hose
[0:54] at the base of the fire from the recommended
safe distance. Move forward or around the fire
[0:58] area as the fire diminishes. A reminder to
only use fire extinguishers on small fires
[1:03] and get yourself to safety first. That's it,
I'm out of time. Have a great week, Oakdale!
